Ok...let's get something straight: if you're idea of having fun with your Z is going to show'n'shines and cars and coffee... I suggest that you don't apply. This is a group for hardcore Z guys (we do accept women BTW) who are about it, 'bout it. That means you like to autocross, you love to nose-to-tail, you love to run the canyons, you'll drive 30 miles out of your way just to follow another Z car you saw on the highway. It means you're willing to race a go-kart, you're not offended by titt …

It's all about enjoying the wilderness! Hiking in the local canyons- mostly in the San Gabriel Mountains. All hikes will be along a stream in a canyon and at a very slow pace with lots of breaks. All hikes will be between 5-12 hours long, usually around 9 hours. The difficulty level is intermediate, but beginners are welcome if they are in good shape and have an attitude of adventure! Safety always comes first, of course. It's recommended (but not required) that you bring the TEN ESSENTIAL …

Join local people for power walks, awesome stair climbs, and hikes in and around the Santa Monica Canyon, West Rustic Canyon, the district north of Montana, the Palisades and Topanga State Park environs. Our walks (which include climbing hundreds of stairs) and hikes are in small groups of 4-6 people because of the areas we walk in.....mainly quiet, unique and cherished private neighborhoods.  The reason we keep our walking groups small is to not create noise, disrespect or impact on the residen …

We are accidental enthusiasts of two-(and three)-wheeled motorized conveyances. We prefer a more staid enjoyment of our vehicles, when compared with our crotch rocket and Harley-Davidson brothers. Our love of motorcycles does not define us, but it is a passion. We are regular folk, who just happen to love to ride. The world has room for all types of motorcyclists, the purpose of this group is to give the under-represented "accidental" motorcyclists a group for rides, advice, etc. If you' …

There are many canyoneering opportunities throughout the Southwest!  From San Diego, through the San Gabriels and San Bernardinos, the Los Padres, the Sierra and as far north as Death Valley in California (and probably beyond); not to mention those near Las Vegas, those scattered through Arizona and those bursting from the seams of the topographic maps of Utah. The purpose of this Meetup Group is to connect people in the Southwest for this adventure activity/sport/passion and to provide certifie …

If you don't have the attitude then you won't make the altitude! A group of people who love the outdoors - particularly large hills that some call mountains. We love to spend time exploring the wilderness because we know freedom lies within the moment. Call us individuals who like to take the trail less traveled... Actually, that's a bit cliche... but whatever you get the drift. SOME QUICK INFO ABOUT SOCAL MOUNTAINEERS Some of the treks are going to be tough. This group is not for someone who …

If you're looking for backpacking, canyoneering, mountaineering, serious day hikes, and other advanced trips, look no further. What makes us different from other LA Hiking Groups? A focus on advanced events, with day hikes of at least 10 miles a day, weekend backpacking, camping, and technical canyoneering too. You won't see any easy hikes, cookouts, or social events here.

It's time to get to the beach and party! I decided to start this group because I've always been envious of the larger groups of people hanging out together at the beach on weekends. Know people all over Los Angeles, managing "friends" has always been annoying so I figured MeetUp is the way to go! The purpose of the group is to play backyard/beach games like KanJam, Beach Volleyball, Frisbee, etc, or just socialize and get a tan. Feel free to bring food and drinks! Our group will meet on the beac …

This group is for 18-25 year old, active people who love traveling, running, hiking, and exploring new areas and cities. This group is open to suggestions. Some ideas I have are camping at Joshua Tree National Park, A Road Trip to Oregon, and hiking at the Grand Canyon. We will do our best to have the best time possible without breaking the bank, since we foresee our group will have many student members on limited budgets. Looking forward to meeting you all and please feel free to come with some …

The Adventurists Scooter Group hosts group rides for experienced scooterists with advanced riding skills. Our rides are technically demanding, require stamina, long-distance endurance, adherence to group riding best-practices, and a healthy appetite for fun and adventure. If full days of twisty roads, mountain and canyon riding, wide open spaces, and getting as far away as possible from congested city traffic sounds like your kind of a good time, then we're the group for you. To Become An ASG M …

Meet new friends, get in shape and pass the time with great conversation. We'll be walking about 3 miles around the streets of Sierra Madre. It's a little hilly, but a fairly easy walk.  We can switch up the routes to keep it interesting. Maybe we could walk up to Mary's Market, in the Canyon, for breakfast occasionally.

United Steps is a privately funded non-profit organization based in Los Angeles, California. Our primary mission is to reverse the cycle of homelessness with practical methods. In Southern California, we’ve developed a dangerous tolerance for assuming that having thousands of people living on the streets is acceptable. This is an embarrassing and shameful environment which has caused Los Angeles to become the capitol of homelessness in America. The reality is that more than enough food, housing, …

To us, the bond between friends that ride together are thicker than others. We ride, we eat, we chill, and we ride some more. The more milage we go, the more canyons we carve, the more apex we rip together, the stronger the bond. We love to find new canyons to twist through and enjoy the beautiful scenery at every stop. We will make trips to the tracks to test and better our skills to the max in a safer and legal environment, but we will also have a BBQ just to post up on our bikes, look cool, a …

We hike the dirt trail path up the left hand side (not the paved road) which is said to be the more challenging path (still pretty easy). This hike is l …

Many (but not all) of our Meetups will be on Sundays and begin at one of Parmahansa Yogananda's gorgeous LA-based Self Realization Fellowship Temples. From there, we will explore what the natural surroundings offer and/or grab a meal at a local eatery. An example of a Sunday Adventure is: Meet at Lake Shrine Temple and hike nearby Topanga Canyon; or Meet at Hollywood Temple and have a scrumptious lunch in nearby Thai Town. THIS GROUP WE …
